Hair-Ess a Cut Below

Paris Hilton is often, for better or worse, a trendsetter, but it looks like this time she’s a follower—and I hear not that happy with her decision. I think Elisha Cuthbert doesn’t get enough (any) credit for being among the first to cut her long longs into a cute, short bob. I remember because I followed suit very shortly afterward. It was at least a month later when Katie Holmes created a buzz by sheering her long locks, followed by Victoria Beckham bringing her much-hyped short do to the States.

Now, weeks after the trend pieces on cropped styles being ‘in’, when other stars’ hair is already starting to grow out, Paris chopped her own into very styled short cut. Or, rather, she took out the hair extensions she’s had in for as long as I can remember—you know, the hair extensions so important that she had them done during house arrest. Personally, I have to admit that I like her short look. I think she should have considered it as part of her short-lived post-prison image makeover.

But I’m told that when she was recently out at ‘her table’ at hot new LA club Opera, the same table she occupies at the club just about every Thursday, she looked miserable. Someone at the club that night told me, “She was so upset with her haircut that she left and came back with a hoodie over her head.” To make matters worse, when she returned she found the victim of another hair tragedy had taken over her table. But she didn’t ask Ms. Britney Spears if she could have her seat back.
